A team of fundraisers have been honoured for their amazing charity work.

The West Lothian Channel Swim Team have been added to the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Supporter Wall after they raised over £8400 by swimming the English Channel.

The unveiling of the Supporter Wall is an opportunity for Breakthrough to recognise those supporters who have raised over £1000 for the charity.

Each fundraiser is invited to nominate a name to appear on the wall, with many supporters choosing the names of loved ones they are fundraising for, or in memory of.

The West Lothian Channel Swim Team are a group of five ambitious swimmers – Craig Hossack, Aaron Sievewright, Andrew Millar, Darren Marr and Dave Sinclair – who bravely tackled the English Channel in July earlier this year to raise money for the charity.

They raised £8413.21 for the charity and have nominated Dave’s sister’s name, Madeline, along with their team name to appear on the wall. Madeline has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer.

Dave said: “Seeing both Madeline’s name and our team name on the supporter wall was a very personal and inspiring moment.

“Having over 100 names unveiled shows us that so many people know someone who has been affected, in some way, by breast cancer.

“I hope that one day we can live in a world freed from breast cancer, but until then we must continue to help fund charities such as Breakthrough and the ground breaking research they do.”

James Jopling, director for Scotland at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said the charity are grateful for the support of the fundraising team.

He said: “Supporters such as Dave and his team mates have done fantastic things, often in incredibly difficult circumstances, to fundraise for Breakthrough.

“Our research will save lives through improving early diagnosis, developing new treatments and preventing all types of breast cancer.

“We can’t do that without the support of people like the West Lothian swimmers.

“One thousand women die every year from breast cancer in Scotland, so our work is clearly far from done.

“We now call on more supporters from across the West Lothian to join us in the fight against breast cancer.”
